"And the illegal comment implies that you agree that government should set prices, Yes or no?"
We as a nation learned the evils of unrestrained capitalism in post civil war USA so yes I believe that government has a role to play in preventing a return to 1880's sweat shops, child labor shops, and monopolies. If a producers gain a prices advantage by using labor rates that would be illegal in the nation then the nation has an OBLIGATION to lay duties on those products equal too, if not greater then the advantage gained by the illegal labor rates.

Where is the part about price controls? Where is nothing in that post about setting prices. Absolutely nothing.
